Application
Lovastatin: A Potent HMG-CoA Reductase Inhibitor
Lovastatin is a potent 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-coenzyme A (HMG-CoA) reductase inhibitor. It was first isolated from in a fermentation broth of Aspergillus terreus in 1978, and taken into clinical development as potential agents for lowering LDL cholesterol. Lovastatin is an inactive lactone which is readily hydrolyzed in vivo to the corresponding active beta-hydroxy acid. The active acid inhibits the action of enzyme HMG-CoA reductase that catalyzes the rate-limiting step in cholesterol biosynthesis, resulting in the reduction of low-density-lipoprotein (LDL) and total cholesterol levels. (The product is for research purpose only.)
